In the back of my mind I keep coming up with rationalizations to quit taking meds. Heres what I'm telling myself

1. my symptoms were because of
PTSD...it under control now
Hormones...since menopause they are under control
age....i'm older and wiser now(OK how much wiser if I'm considering doing something that might affect my stability?)

2. Long term affects are not well understood

3. I like the idea I'll lose weight

4. Maybe I miss chaos?

I'm really trying to stay stable but the idea is there that I don't really need these meds, but truthfully I'm not doing anything other than taking meds. Oh I am much much better at sleep hygiene but nothing else. I'm not exercising, not eating right, have almost no support outside of PC. I keep thinking those things will magically happen if I quit the meds.

my logic and emotional reasoning is at odds, could I get feedback on these thoughts?
